Mission and Vision

Our vision is to provide pathways for moving beyond the cycle of homelessness through integrated healthcare and collaborative partnerships.

Leading with Purpose
As I reflect on the first year in my tenure as CEO, I am filled with gratitude and pride for the collective commitment of our staff, generous donors, and community partners to building a healthier Houston for all
This year with your support, HHH’s integrated healthcare services have touched the lives of thousands of individuals experiencing homelessness and housing instability, offering them not only medical care but also hope and dignity. We have strengthened our outreach programs, improved access to essential health services, and forged new partnerships to address the complex needs of those we serve. The profound impact of our work is evident in the stories of recovery and transformation we witness every day.
As we look ahead to the future, we are excited about the possibilities before us We are committed to deepening our impact, exploring new avenues for service delivery, and advocating for systemic changes that will ensure long-term solutions to homelessness. With your continued trust and support, we envision a community where everyone has access to the healthcare they deserve.
Carlie A. Brown, MPH, MHA Chief Executive Officer
Building stability through health and well-being
We provided wholeperson, comprehensive medical care to 3,338 people from 59 zip codes through 22,840 visits across our ten service sites.
Healingbegins withhealth
Medical services include health screenings, preventative care, disease management, acute treatment, and specialty care.
“Every day we see how the lack of stable housing magnifies health challenges, turning manageable conditions into life-threatening crises. Healthcare is not a luxury, it’s a fundamental need.

“Talking about recovery, it’s a much more complex area. When you get sober, all the stuff you’ve been running from and covering up is sitting right there. The work I do is recognizing that the full self has to be part of the process so there can be wholeness.”

Obtaining a roof does not resolve
all of the challenges and barriers that cause housing instability. While securing permanent supportive housing is a critical milestone, continued care and support ensures people thrive in their new homes, breaking the cycle of homelessness for good.
“Having been there myself, I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to have services that treat us like people, not just a problem to solve. Wraparound support that addresses every aspect of our lives - from housing to healthcare - that’s what makes a real difference.”
Joseph “Cowboy” Benson, Community Health Worker

"Having
a place like this to come and actually get the healthcare you need, the dental, just everything after being homeless - it makes a world of difference.”
“I
wake up every morning joyful and always got a smile on my face. When I come here, everybody’s smiling, they’re happy. They really make you feel like you’re at home, and you’re welcome. You’re not just a number, but you’re actually a patient, they really care about you.”
Christopher, HHH Patient

LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR
As we reflect on the past year, I am honored to share with you the strides Healthcare for the Homeless - Houston has made in serving our community. Despite the challenges presented by the ongoing aftermath of the pandemic, rising costs, and economic uncertainty, our commitment to providing essential health services to those experiencing homelessness and housing instability remains unwavering.
In 2023, our organization continued to expand its reach and impact, ensuring that individuals facing homelessness have access to comprehensive medical care, mental health support, substance abuse treatment, and vital resources to help them on their journey toward stability
Through innovative partnerships with local housing partners, outreach programs, and healthcare providers, we have been able to meet the evolving needs of our clients and adapt our services to best serve them in their unique circumstances Whether it's delivering street medicine, offering telehealth appointments for those unable to access traditional care, or providing case management services to help individuals navigate complex systems, we are committed to meeting our clients where they are and empowering them to reclaim their health and dignity
As we look ahead to the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advocating for systemic change, addressing the root causes of homelessness, and building a more equitable and compassionate healthcare system for all Healing begins with all of us, and together we can build a brighter, healthier future for our community
Thank you for your continued support
